Pros

A lot of nice benefits, such as free lunch every day, discounts from partner companies, a very nice office. Everyone in this company is very friendly and ready to help whenever you ask them. They use very modern tech stacks, and digitizing freight-forwarding has a lot of potential to be successful. Unlike many other large companies, managers also know how to use the tech stack, and also write code, although less often than regular SWEs.

Cons

Being on-call could be a pain, there were also some issues with over-hiring, so I hope that mistake will not happen again.

Pros

The compensation was strong and competitive, and it was consistently the best part of the job. If your priority is pay in the near term, that piece delivered.

Cons

I struggled with the lack of stability. It rarely felt like the ground was solid, and that uncertainty was hard to sit with over time. Return-to-office expectations seemed to change more than once, and I personally didn't find the reasoning behind those shifts clear. It was hard to plan around. I also found the performance review process difficult to trust. In my experience the outcomes didn't always seem to line up with the actual work, which made it hard to feel like I knew where I stood or how to grow. There was A LOT of turnover in leadership during my time there. With direction changing frequently, it often felt like priorities were in flux, which made it next to impossible to stay oriented.
